  1. Alternatives Concepts White PaperIPT 02E Team Eclipse

  2. Project Management

  3. Overview • This Whitepaper seeks to establishes team roles, develop two alternative designs, and select one design as the final concept to take into Phase 3. • The Viking Lander, the baseline design, for this project was compared to a Lander on Wheels (LOW) and a Lander with a Single Rover (LSR). • Each concept was weighted against each other and utilizing Weighted Factor Analysis and Concept Evaluation Matrix to choose a final design. • Our results will show that the Lander on Wheels would be the best approach.

  4. Technical Description • Overview of Phase 2: • Deliverable Items: • White Paper • Summarizes the strategy for selecting alternative systems • Qualitative/quantitative information to evaluate each idea • Logical rational for down selecting one concept among the three concepts • Oral Presentation • Summarizing information from the White Paper to present to the review board.

  5. Technical Description • Specification Summary • Level 1 Requirements • Housed within an Atlas V-401 EPF Shroud • Total Landed Mass – 997.4 kg • Launch Date – NLT September 30, 2012 • Survivability Time of 1 Year • Attain a slope of 12º • Polar Landing as well as other Lunar Landings • Land Precision +/- 100m 3σ • Maneuverability • SMD to ESMD
